Happy Halloween from Morbius the Living Vampire and enemy of Spider-Man

[megowgsh]

Morbius the Living Vampire, a scientist named Dr. Michael Morbius, was created by writer Roy Thomas and originally designed by Gil Kane. The character, a man suffering from vampiric abilities and physical traits resulting from scientific rather than supernatural means, first appeared as an antagonist in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 (Oct. 1971), and went on to become a heroic, tragically flawed protagonist in his own series and other titles.

Most are familiar with this version of Morbius:



And there have been numerous customs made of this version.

I have always preferred this version of Morbius from the 1995 Spider-Man animated series:





I just never thought somebody who was an unwilling Vampire would take the time to assemble a costume equipped with red under-arm wings. Maybe it's just me.

My Morbius is built on a CTVT white body with Monster glow-in-the-dark hands; head sculpt commissioned from Next2LastMohican with paints by me; shoes, pants, and jacket from CTVT; shirt by yours truly.











and for the purists out there, here is the original costumed version I made a few years ago for a friend:



I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

Peace, Love, Megos, and Happy Halloween!

Looks great fit in the spider villains and could work with the mad monsters bravo

That came out nice.

Magnificent custom sir! Love it!

I liked that '95 Spider-Man animated series ALOT and I totally agree that the attire Morbius wore in that series was much more appropriate for the nature of the character.

neat head and paints, would love to see him in his original costume with that head. It would be perfect retro Mego goodness.

Dude! I forgot all about the version of Morbius from the 90s TV show! I remember the "punk" version of Morbius which was popular at the time. When you mentioned the 90s show, I was like, "but Toy Biz didn't make that character, what's he going to use for the head?" That sculpt is really really nice. I like the animated series style paint job.

That was a really good Spider-Man show. I didn't like the version of Mysterio on that show, however.

Anyway, great job

Agreed on the head paint. The blue on black really pops. it even makes the face more impactful. The hands are a brilliant touch.
